Noah Weiland recently commented on his earnings from a tribute show honoring his late father. He addressed the financial breakdown in a statement shared on Instagram.
Noah performed at a 10th anniversary tribute show for Scott Weiland on December 3rd at the Garden Amp outdoor amphitheater in Orange County, California. He sang Stone Temple Pilots and Velvet Revolver classics. In his statement, he revealed the disparity between the total revenue generated and what he actually received.
“I made 10K+ the other night at that show,” Noah said. “My cut was not much over a thousand dollars. Split between me and 3 other band members, does that make any sense mathematically?”
Beyond the financial concerns, Noah also reflected on his personal journey. He expressed his commitment to honoring his father’s legacy differently.
“I’d rather be dead than live the same way my father did,” he continued. “Regardless of all this, it’s been a long journey. Can’t wait to see him again and thank you for all the support along the way. Won’t ever forget this.”
The tribute concert marked a significant moment in remembering Scott Weiland’s legacy. December 3rd, 2025, marked the 10th anniversary of Scott Weiland’s death, which occurred on December 3, 2015, according to 94.7 WCSX. The event served as both a celebration of the late rock icon’s music and a personal reconnection for fans who grew up with his work.
The December 3rd tribute show featured Noah covering iconic hits from Stone Temple Pilots and Velvet Revolver, per AXS TV. The performance created a celebratory atmosphere where fans shared personal stories and connected over Scott’s music. The event coincided with a meaningful release: Louder Sound reported that a previously unreleased Scott Weiland song titled “If I Could Fly” was shared worldwide via Primary Wave/Virgin. The song was written in 2000 shortly after Noah’s birth to honor his legacy.
Scott Weiland was the frontman for both Stone Temple Pilots and Velvet Revolver. He left an indelible mark on rock music before his untimely passing. Parade noted that Weiland died at age 48 from an accidental drug overdose. This tragedy profoundly shaped his son’s perspective on life and legacy.
Noah’s candid remarks about his earnings from the tribute show underscore the financial realities of the music industry. Even during commemorative events, artists often receive modest compensation. His statement highlights the disparity between gross revenue and artist compensation. It also demonstrates his personal determination to forge a different path than his father. The contrast between the show’s financial success and Noah’s modest personal earnings raises important questions about how tribute concerts distribute their proceeds among performers.
